Salvation Army

In this poignant and thought-provoking exploration of life in modern Morocco, we follow the story of Abdellah, a young gay man attempting to find his place amidst a complex tapestry of societal pressures and familial expectations. Raised in a bustling working-class neighborhood by a distant father and strict mother, Abdellah's life becomes increasingly complicated as he grapples with the challenges posed by both his sexuality and his cultural background. Navigating an environment where homosexuality is largely denied and shunned, he must also contend with the presence of predatory older men who seek to exploit him. Balancing the deep bond he shares with his adoring older brother against this backdrop of adversity, Abdellah's journey sheds light on the struggle many face in societies where personal identity clashes with societal norms and expectations. This compelling drama delves into themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
